On Friday, he told TEMU The Sun Us that the platform is moving to the “local loyalty model”.
A spokesman said: “All sales in the United States are now being dealt with by local sellers, with orders that have been executed from inside the country,” said a spokesman.

The shein, also based in China, has announced that it will be similarly forced to raise the prices that start on April 25 due to the 145 percent collective tariff.
The high prices coincided with the closure of a loophole that allowed TEMU to import its fees -free products.
The base known as “minimal exemption” is known, as the base allowed products at a price of less than $ 800 to enter the United States without incurring import fees.

It is nearly 92 percent of all packages that enter the country under minimal exemption, according to the Customs and Border Patrol.
The goods will face $ 800 or less tariffs and new fees once the gap is over, with some planned increases in June, according to the White House.
